You may be hesitant about traveling alone, especially to distant places. This is because of the fear for your personal safety and the possibility of feeling alone and homesick. You can start trying to travel alone now and appreciate the experience. Below are some steps for you to be more confident and happier even if you are going alone.
Let your friends know. You can advise your closest friends that you are going abroad alone. It is your chance to ask them if they have trusted relatives or friends whom you can possibly ask for guidance and assistance when you reach your destination. If someone does, you may go ahead and get the contact information and other details that you are supposed to know. Then you may communicate to that person ahead of time. You will be more confident to travel knowing that there is someone that you can ask for help.
Check for your safety. Have a research in advance if it is totally safe to travel to your destination country. You can search through the internet for the recent news and update regarding crime rates, outbreaks, political concerns, military issues, weather condition, cost of living and other factors which may affect your safety and health.
Know your goals. If this is not a business travel, you should determine your own purpose and objectives why you will travel. Know your preference and needs and list down the destinations which you think can address your goals, until you come up with your final decision. You will invest effort, time and money so it is essential that your needs are met.
Be confident. One way to achieve confidence is by being prepared and knowledgeable. Do not be obvious that you are a tourist and do not look disoriented. Apply your learning regarding how to stay safe and how to take care of your valuables. Be familiar with the landmarks and relevant places. Be well-equipped and make sure to be physically and mentally active.
